Hank Dunlap led a colorful and diversified life. He was a writer, a poet,
and a haiku poet with five books to his credit. But he was so much more!
Hank was a rodeo cowboy, an aero-space engineer, a bartender, and a deputy
sheriff in Navajo County. He served in the Air Force during the Korean
War, was a high school track coach, an ambulance driver, a fry cook, heavy
equipment operator, goat herder, and, as he once wrote, “had a few
jobs I’d rather forget.” Hank was one of the most honest,
straightforward people I’ve ever met. His often self-deprecating
sense of humor was at once hilarious and endearing. Hank gave of himself
generously. He was a wonderful friend and will be greatly missed by all
who knew him.
